Before I do I'd like to remind you that our challenge this month is "UNDER THE SEA" (this can include animals/mermaids sitting by the sea as at some stage they go into the sea).

Here is my inspiration post with this theme.

I have decided to make a mixed media project for a special friend's birthday. I have used a heart shaped MDF plaque from The Works and coated with gesso. Once dry I have over various different areas added some Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste Chic Viola and Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste Chic Aubergine through various masks. Once dry I knocked back the colour with a wash over with Imagination Crafts Starlights Pearl Paint.

For this project I have used the Ching-Chou Kuik image called "Purple Tender". I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers, highlighted areas with my sparkle clear pen and then fussy cut around the image.

I have then used various seaside dies from Sweet Dixie, Joanna Sheen and a Memory Box die for the clouds. I have cut these dies out of various colours of card and various textures like wood and cork. I have also used a Joy! Crafts stamp set and coloured in the shells and a stamped sentiment.

I have finished this project off with the rope that came with the MDF heart and some very large pearls.

Absolutely spectacular, Kym! Gorgeous image and fab embellies. I'm wearing two different DT hats today and I want to say I'm so happy that you chose to share your card with us in our "Anything Goes or Easter" challenge at QKR Stampede this week and in our "Anything Goes" challenge at Crafts Galore Encore this month. Good luck in the draw.NanaConnie DT
